What to expect from a pain clinic injection

If your consultant has recommended a pain clinic injection, you may be wondering what to expect.

Before the procedure:

• You’ll meet your consultant, who will explain the risks and benefits.

• You may need to fast for a few hours depending on the injection type.

During the procedure:

• Injections are performed under X-ray or ultrasound guidance for accuracy.

• A local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort.

• The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes.

After the procedure:

• You’ll rest for a short period before going home.

• You may feel temporary soreness, but many patients notice improvement within days.

• Your consultant will follow up to assess the results.
